There has been several hundred
loads of dirt drawn onto the court
house grounds, and one can scarcely
see any impression made. they hav.
ing commenced to break the whole
of the ground around the court
house which will look more like
business when completed. The
commissioners are doing we'll tc
make the grounds attractive around
their buildings SO that it will be a
credit to our county and city. A
few seats placed on the grounds
would be a very valuable improve
ment. OF course there will be a
nice lot of trees planted, and we un.
derstand the county fathers have
made arrangements with the
Blanding Brothers for some of their
most choice trees, and when the new
picket fence is put up, our people
will for the first time be able to
point with pride to our court house
and grounds.
